The first and long-awaited macro objective of the Art lineIn recent years, standard macro focus lenses have tended to use an internal focusing system in order to maximize the speed of autofocus. Conversely, the new SIGMA 70mm F2.8 DG MACRO | Art is designed to prioritize optical performance, meeting the image quality requirements that define the Art line.

This is the world’s first consumer-grade probe lens which focuses from 2:1 macro to infinity and with a compelling wide angle ‘Bug Eye’ perspective. The wide angle design means much more depth of field at close distance than conventional telephoto macro lens so that more background details can now be seen. The front barrel of the lens is designed to be
